You are Treating God Like a Genie. Prayer is more than saying “God, I want a new car, bigger place, a hot husband/wife, and more money. Okay? Thanks.” Although God says that we can ask anything in faith and receive it, that does not mean only ask for things. God is not the genie from Aladdin. He does not sit idle waiting to grant three wishes. He does not cater to our every whim. God is God. He wants to give us so much of His character. If our focus is on things, we will miss out on true blessings. Not that God isn’t concerned that you have a flat tire and your rent is due, because He is. But how do you feel when people only come to you when they want something? You seek relationship and companionship. As friends of God, we should want more than to use Him for what He can do. We should want more of who He is. By:Rasheda Likely
